Virtual Reality

In this series of articles I am going to walk you through some of the basic concepts related to VR.

Ambient Mixer is an online service that’s ideal for rapid prototyping. It comes in extremely handy whenever you need to lay in a basic atmospheric sound, but still want to customize it to fit your particular needs.

SkyBox VR Player from Mettle integrates with Adobe After Effects, Premiere and SpeedGrade and allows you to view your 360 content directly in Oculus Rift – without rendering! It will even let you work on your software without taking the HMD off, and automatically recognizes mono and stereo 360 compositions. Best of all: It’s free!

In this article I’ll talk about the process behind creating and publishing Prismatic, as well as about some of the lessons learned along the way. If you haven’t yet seen the film, strap on your virtual reality goggles and go check it out here. The rest of the article will make much more sense this way.
